Horoscope for January 10-16

Aries (March 21st - April 20th)
Last week you shook things up, Aries, and this week you are establishing new order. Some of your decisions may have caught others off-guard or perhaps you went off in an entirely new direction, most likely in your career sector. This week, it looks like the shock has subsided and your new regime has been accepted. As the week unfolds, you get caught up in the excitement of new beginnings and reach out with plenty of communication. This is an ideal time to market, sell, and self-promote ideas or products to people because you feel like you are “all together” - and you are. You may meet a potential partner who shares your values or you and your mate get on the same page about finances.

Taurus (April 21st - May 20th)
The planets are delivering your week in two separate installments, Taurus. During the first half of the week, you will feel like you are slowing down and turning within for some careful examination of your thoughts and feelings. Everything will go on automatic pilot as you enter that quiet space. You emerge midweek refreshed and confident as the moon enters your sign and makes favorable aspects to planets affecting important areas of your life. Most notably, your powers of thought and persuasion can get a big boost that brings more opportunity for successful business and increased income. Your personal magnetism is stronger, too, and others want to be with you socially this week.

Gemini (May 21st - June 21st)
Getting your point across or being heard may be difficult at the beginning of the week, Gemini. Later in the week, while in contemplation, meditation, or the dream state, you might find the right words to say or make a non-verbal telepathic communication that has a profound effect. This doesn’t surprise you in the least because the planets are making it easier for you to believe in what you can’t see now and are sharpening your psychic skills. A connection deepens with a child now or you find a creative outlet that helps you connect with your own inner child. The weekend can bring you powerful new business and/or people connections when you are out and about. People are interested in what you have to offer.

Cancer (June 22nd - July 22nd)
Cancer has a reputation for being gentle, emotional, and nurturing. These softer qualities make it easy for others to forget that deep down inside, you are as driven to succeed as the cardinal signs of the other elements. Water is the most relentless, powerful, flexible force of nature. This week, you will show the world how tenacious you can be. Like a maestro conducting an orchestra of many instruments, you will be waving the wand of your intent passionately in nearly every area of your life. If you have a significant relationship, you may be expecting complete and total involvement - possibly even as work-mates. If single, you may be focused on achieving your ideal in self-mastery. The weekend is a time to stay home and integrate all the new connections and knowledge you’ve collected this week.

Leo (July 23rd - August 22nd)
Work and your career take precedence over all else this week, Leo. Make the most of planetary support and put on a good performance, solve people’s problems, and when they tell their friends all about you, be there with your card in hand. The only glitch I see in an otherwise flowing week may come through communication or transportation surrounding romance or business. Timing could be off, phone tag played, or misunderstandings could occur. When negotiating business, write your estimates a bit higher to allow for the overall increase in your own costs or be sure you do give a quote or estimate in writing now. Gentlemen’s agreements are subject to personal interpretation. The week ends on a strong social note, but you may still be working - this time helping friends or a group with a project.

Virgo (August 23rd - September 22nd)
Virgo knows what being of service is about. This week, your energy field is a lot like a taxi with the “On Duty” light glowing. Friends, coworkers, children, partners, neighbors - they can all find something only you can do for them. Don’t look too knowledgeable when out shopping or you could be mistaken for sales help. Some news of money coming to you is possible. A trip for pleasure or a visit from a friend who has traveled a distance to reach you is another possibility. If you have been job hunting or thinking of launching your own business, you may find a situation that requires you to wear several hats, which suits your agile mind just fine.

Libra (September 23rd - October 23rd)
Opportunities for increasing your self-esteem and the strength of your convictions will present themselves early this week, Libra. You don’t mind being assertive, but it can make you feel extremely uncomfortable if you feel people are not liking or accepting you. Most of Libra’s mind vacillation and indecision is a direct result of a hidden fear of not being loved. Pat yourself on the back and give yourself hugs if you stand in the power of your own choice. Later in the week, the planets put you in a position of popularity and leadership. You will reap greater rewards and personal satisfaction if you step into that half of the week from a place of certainty rather than passivity.

Scorpio (October 24th - November 21st)
You know that peaceful, easy feeling of the Eagles song? It should be with you now. I’m not promising a perfect week free of any hassle, but I am seeing a week where you will be running through your days like a finely-tuned engine. Work, money, and love are all highlighted. Scorpio is a water sign that feels emotional tides of low and high, withdrawn or outgoing. This is a high-tide, outgoing week. Relationships are especially important now. You may feel like you have found your perfect match or if you already have a partner, the two of you are wonderfully synchronized now. An inner sense of peace and security is with you all week, like you are “already standing on the ground.”

Sagittarius (November 22nd - December 21st)
A metamorphosis takes place for you this week, Sagittarius. It may be more of an internal adjustment than a change in your environment, but any inner change will eventually reflect in your outer world, as well. The first half of the week may be tumultuous, especially in your financial or home life. I don’t want to say it’s all in your head, but the planets are certainly short-circuiting some of your thoughts and your general attitude. Welcome relief arrives midweek as the planetary interference lets up. It seems as soon as you stop chasing your tail of worry, good things arrive at work, money flows again, and relationships, home life, and friendships all stabilize.

Capricorn (December 22nd - January 19th)
Parental issues or memories from your own childhood may surface for you at the beginning of this week, Capricorn. Now is an excellent time to process and release any old programming or current beliefs that are not empowering. Whether you are examining your personal life or interacting with family or children, the planets are asking you to make determinations - what is effective, what is supportive? The wisdom you gain this week helps you in all your relationships and can give you a new position at work where you influence others through heart power and example rather than force of will and manipulation.

Aquarius (January 20th - February 18th)
It’s all about perspective, Aquarius. I know it can be a rough time of the year for you now. A number of planets are encouraging involution and you would like to hibernate, but there are also planets pushing you to do some big things while spinning you around blindfolded, like a child playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey. You can’t see the donkey and you don’t feel too comfortable while everyone else (who can see the donkey) is laughing at you as you dizzily take aim, all the while thinking you will never hit that darned donkey. Oy! Later this week, the moon gives you just a few peeks from behind that blindfold. The future catches your hopeful attention enough so that you do some constructive dreaming and tentative reaching out. Laugh at yourself and find other funny things to keep you in the “anything GOOD can happen at any minute” mindset.

Pisces (February 19th - March 20th)
A financial wake-up call or the realization that something has to change surrounding income and your job may feel like a crisis at the start of the week, Pisces. The good part comes with the second half of the week when necessity - the mother of invention - brings some soaking brainstorms to quell the threat of drought. You can establish a better business model now or find a way to supplement your income that allows you to share something you really enjoy or believe in with your friends or a group. If you’ve been following my horoscopes and paying attention to the planets encouraging you to teach, you may already have a group of people who would take an endorsement from you seriously and want to support you in business endeavors.

"Do you not know, Asclepius, that Egypt is an image of heaven, or, to speak more exactly, in Egypt all the operations of the powers which rule and work in heaven have been transferred to earth below? Nay, it should rather be said that the whole Kosmos dwells in this our land as in its sanctuary." - from the Hermetica
